Alright, my roomies and I are clo alchoholics. Now that we have that out of the way, we're on a quest to have as many different types of beer as possible. We've done pretty well so far even trying those weird Thai beers and such. Recently we came across a batch of Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer. I had heard rumours of such a beer but had never seen it with mine own eyes. The beer literally has a chili pepper floating in it. None of us have been brave enough to touch it yet. I guess my question is what should I expect? Is it safe to count on this as our game day beer or should we make a run and pick up some Modelo or something as back up? I have a feeling I might have to be substantially toasted to make it through the game tomorrow. (Also what food compliments chili beer in a such a way that can only be described as a culinary orgasm?)

Speaking of which... earlier this evening I asked a friend if he'd heard of the new "beer" Budweiser is making that has energy drink crap mixed in. Not only had he heard of it, but he had some other malt beverage in his fridge that was a similar concept. It wasn't all that bad.

As I was drinking it... I couldn't help but think about the recent trend of mixing energy drinks with liquor... and it occurred to me that it's like a low-rent version of a speedball.

Just a random musing for ya.

Just what a violent drunk really needs--a boost of energy.

I'm not violent... and, I'll kick your ass if you suggest it again!

Of course, I didn't mean you were a violent drunk--I was just noting violent drunks in general. I checked out that site. Does this stuff really taste like candy?

I was just making a joke...

And... uh, no. It tastes like an orange flavored energy drink. Or something. I dunno... I only had one, and now I'm having a Miller Lite... so, the memory fades.

Yeah I got the joke. I wonder if it really gives you extra pep? I've gotten drunk on vodka & red bulls on several occasions, but have never noticed that I had any extra energy. Seemed just the same as mixing the vodka with vermouth or orange juice...

You know what's an interesting sensation? Drinking while taking Hydroxycuts. Haven't done it in a long time, but that certainly gives you an odd boost of energy. Not to mention an unsettled stomach...

It's been an odd weekend for me. I learned a valuable lesson, tho. If I'm heading to the bar to hang out by myself all night, I shouldn't drink vodka tonics. A few things are guaranteed to happen.

1) I'll get absolutely shitfaced
2) My bar tab would bankrupt some small countries
3) The next day will suck absolute ass

Apparently, if I'm going to have more than a few, I need to stick to beer.

It sure didn't take many years of me punishing my body for it to just give out. I'm a shell of my former liquor consuming self.

Pharmeceuticals were a rather underexplored area of substances for me. (And, there were a few experiences that make me quite glad of it.)

Not familiar with Hydroxycuts.

'Droxys used to be loaded with ephedrine and some natural herbs. Now that ephedrine has a bad name (studies show that it can cause heart damage, as well as other long term side effects) the Hyroxycuts people changed the formula. It was popular w/ bodybuilders looking to increase their stamina and some people used them for weight loss purposes....who cares? I know it lost alot of it's popularity when the formula was changed...

That's why I've pretty much stopped goin out and getting drunk at the pub. I seem to only crave Crown & diets when I'm out and I can drink ALOT of Crown w/o even noticing my consumption level. Recent changes in salary no longer allow for a $120 bar tab, unfortunately...
